| Which Coating is
Right for Your Garage Floor? |
| Epoxy/ Polyurethane Two
Coat System: The Two Coat System is a thin film coating. It consists of one coat of Epoxy
Primer and one coat of Polyurethane. Silica sand is added as non-skid. This system will
protect the concrete from staining and dusting, and provide any easy-clean surface. The Two Coat System will not:
- Fill cracks, spalls or expansion joints. Patching is
recommended to correct this.
- Fill permeter cracks or serve as a caulk around the
perimeter of the slab.
- Hide flaws or deterioration in the garage slab.
- Fill pinholes in the concrete surface.
- Strenghten the concrete.
- Serve as a moisture or vapor barrier for moisture
beneath the concrete slab.

| Epoxy / Polyurethane Three
Coat System: The Three Coat System adds one coat of Chip Binder between the base coat of
Epoxy Primer and the top coat of Polyurethane. This coat of Chip Binder is a thick coat
that helps comouflage imperfections in the concrete surface. This system will hide
patching and minor deterioration, while sustaining the benefits of the Two Coat System,
Silica sand is also used in this system as non-skid. The Three Coat System will not:
- Fill cracks, spalls, or expansion joints. Patching is
recommended to correct this.
- Fill perimeter cracks or serve as a caulk around the
perimeter of the slab.
- Hide excessive deterioration. Floating is recommended
to correct this.
- Fill all pinholes in the concrete surface, but will
minimize them.
- Strenghten the concrete.
- Serve as a moisture or vapor barrier for moisture
beneath the concrete slab.

| Epoxy / Polyurethane
Granite-Look Flooring: Granite-look flooring is a four coat system consisting of one coat
of Epoxy Primer, one coat of Chip Binder, one coat of Chip Glaze, and a top coat of
Polyurethane. The "granite-look" is achieved by embedding paint chips between
the Chip Binder and the Chip Glaze. due to the addition of the paint chips and the
thickness of the Chip Binder and Chip Glaze, this system will camouflage imperfections in
the garage slab to a greater degree than the three coat system. Also, unlike the the three
coat system, granite-look flooring will eliminate pinholes in most garage slabs. No silica
sand is addded to this system, as the paint chips act as a natural non-skid. The Granite-look will not:
- Fill cracks spalls or expansions joints. Patching is
recommended to correct this.
- Fill permeter cracks or serve as a caulk around the
perimeter of the slab.
- Hide excessive deterioration. Floating is recommended
to correct this.
- Strengthen the concrete.
- Serve as a moisture or vapor barier for moisture
beneath the concrete slab.
